Filipino food ABCs and 123s
I combined things I learned about Filipino languages and Philippine cuisine into new art! And why is learning a Filipino language helpful?
Food
Filipino street food wall art
Made this new set of minimalistic Filipino street food art printables for fellow street food lovers.
Sangkap by Food Writers Association of the Philippines
“Sangkap” is a great way to discover Filipino food writers, especially those with a focus on a particular aspect of Filipino food.
Tikim by Doreen Fernandez
Many say Doreen Fernandez’s “Tikim” is a pivotal book in Filipino food literature. I’ll have to agree.
Popeyes’ vs. Jollibee’s chicken sandwich and the “Chicken Sandwich Wars”
I just learned about the “Chicken Sandwich Wars”, but who really wins in such a thing? Also, which is better, Jollibee’s or Popeyes chicken sandwich lol.
Pigafetta’s Philippine Picnic by Felice Prudente Sta. Maria
A review (kinda) of “Pigafetta’s Philippine Picnic” by Felice Prudente Sta. Maria.
Katmon Vegetable Sinigang
Both the fruit Katmon and the dish Sinigang were once intimidating to me, but I’ve gotten to know both by making Sinigang na Katmon.
Alagao leaves & Suman Itim of Crescent Moon Cafe
They say money doesn’t grow on trees. But leaves do. Delicious leaves from the Alagao tree.
Mango Kani Lumpia
You’ve probably had mango kani salads and kani fresh spring rolls before. But never did it occur to me to make mango kani lumpia.
Arroz a la Cubana, a la tuna and chopped veggies
Arroz a la Cubana is another Filipino dish with Spanish roots. Typically made with giniling, we made ours with chopped eggplant, carrots, and red bell pepper sautéed with canned tuna until soft and combined.
